“You see the mob takes the Fifth,” he said. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”
-Trump
Trump said it best only the guilty need to take the 5th.
Trump took the 5th 400 times in his recent disposition for fraud because he is guilty and he has no response. He has no excuse that will hold up under penalty of perjury, and he is 100% guilty.
This disposition is serious stuff and he can't tell lies like at his rallies or he gets charged with perjury, so his only option is to take the 5th, like a mob criminal.
Trump pleaded the fifth more than 400 times in fraud deposition, video shows
Former president repeatedly invoked constitutional right against self-incrimination in New York footage from late last summerwww.theguardian.com
Yeah, in criminal trials taking the 5th carries no negative inference (or shouldn't). But in civil trials.......it absolutely does. Its called 'Adverse Inference', and Trump gave them 400 instances of it.
"A punitive “adverse-inference instruction” is a sanction that would allow the judge to instruct the jury to infer facts about the non-producing party's missing evidence in a way that would be adverse to that party's case."
